No Autotune, no safety net, just an amazing singer on stage with only his voice to carry him.

[@chazrjr]

Yup. Live ,real live vocals. Unreal!

[@chopperdeath]

I was a singer in a couple of bands. Nobody has any Idea how good Steve is really, and how hard this is! Respect.

[@princessoffire1107]

Very few people have "The Voice" Steve is one of the few who can sing a single 3 second note and you automatically know it's him.

[@michaelasay8587]

Randy Jackson on Bass … Fantastic Journey song with Steve Perry on vocals ..

[@ghfantexas6848]

I don’t think they recognized him.

That is not Randy Jackson. It is Clarence Clemons from Springsteen's band.

[@ghfantexas6848]

Clarence Clemons plays the sax.

[@xtrmfc]

@@erics4653 you need to look it up.. Randy Jackson is indeed on Bass ,and has also returned to play Bass with Journey in recent years.. Randy would talk about his time in Journey on American Idol when a contestant would pick a Journey song to sing ..

[@pacard33]

I saw this tour in '86. Had 3rd row and was only 5 feet away from Steve Perry. Tickets were...$18.00. Gosh, we were so spoiled growing up. Steve was so cool during the concert -- so was Randy Jackson on bass!

[@gloriasueb]

Hey, $18 was a lot of money in the 80s.

[@Sighlense]

I still have $10 and $12 ticket stubs saved in a storage box. We were blessed to see some of the greats in their prime for a fraction of the cost the pretenders charge today. The 80's ruled. 🤘

[@timwhiteside9971]

it was really cool to see Randy Jackson playing and singing with journey but what's messed up is when they were inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame they did'nt include him i mean they did'nt even invite him to the ceremony ; i still like them but that was like i said messed up .

[@chazrjr]

Same at the BJCC in Birmingham, Al. Also saw the Frontiers tour in 83. One of the best. No doubt.

[@laurarominger2073]

So glad I grew up back then.

So true.

[@jeremywhitworth7299]

I never even heard of Randy Jackson until American Idol came along. I remember hearing him talking about playing in Journey all the time. I didn’t even realize that Steve Smith and Ross Valory were gone. I actually like this lineup, though. Neal Schon is the only original member left in Journey. Steve Smith an Ross Valory were recently fired regarding them trying to get ownership of the band. They didn’t realize Steve Perry still gets paid by Journey. It was part of Journey deciding to continue on without him because he didn’t get hip replacement surgery quick enough for their liking. It was a contract they had to come to terms with for them going on without them leaving him. He received a huge amount from their first 2 albums they recorded after his departure. He gets a chunk of whatever merchandise they sell. He currently gets paid $800,000 a year while they’re still active. He has a net worth of 70 million dollars. For someone who’s been gone from Journey since like 1997, he’s making some great money. He says he doesn’t spend a lot of money. He has a nice home, but it’s not some kind of mansion. He’s never been married. So, he never had to worry about losing half of his things. He’s a smart guy.

[@cchevy936]

That's how it was then! None of this primary relationship w your tech device nonsense; people actually socialized in person, TALKED to each other and everything was created by us by hand; none of this social media, AI, green-screen, studio-produced nonsense. And we had REAL movie plots not reboots.

[@amb6899]

Asia you have great musical taste. I'm listening to music over 60 yrs and I'm leaning towards saying Steve may be the best singer ever. He's the whole package. It's said walking and singing is one of the most difficult things to do Steve does it effortlessly. Another great song. Hats off to all the band members, great job. 🎉🎉

[@paulcoxon-u8z]

Great song by one of the greatest bands ever, with the greatest singer to ever set foot on a stage.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Every girl loved Journey in the 80s. That's why most guys loved Journey in the 80s.

That was Randy Jackson from Idol on the bass

[@ronaldelliott4373]

I’m with you Asia! Incredible voice, guitar everything!! Captivating forever!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@idalucero1260]

OMG that incredible voice, there is no other like Steve Perry. There is no question why he is still and always will be so beloved around the world.

[@daveversion2.2]

I truly feel blessed to have seen journey live in concert in Buffalo, NY with The Rolling Stones in the early 80’s.

[@jennhurl]

I've always loved the onstage chemistry of Neil Schon (guitar) & Steve.

[@dawggirl]

This is my absolute favorite Journey song. It's just so poignant, and every time I listen I can envision this couple that does love each other, but can't get out of their own way enough to make it happen and still looking for someone else out there. Really heartbreaking in that sense. They do put on a hell of a show. These lyrics though, they really tell such a story.

[@twilitetide]

A lot of people have said, like, Steve's voice gets under your skin. I can't explain it. Unique timbre, haunting. On occasion he's done a background vocal and you can always tell it's him - or like I never knew for years Journey had done a song for the movie Tron and knew instantly.

[@michaelottesen6143]

I believe also for Vision Quest.

[@dianeouellette3817]

Steve Perry (The Voice) a vocal genius. Randy Jackson on Bass was incredible!! ♥️🎶🎤❤ 🎸

[@visiblepixels4632]

This whole album is fantastic- “Suzanne” is one of my favorite journey songs of all time, and “be good to yourself “ is really awesome too… and have others have mentioned, that’s indeed American Idol’s Randy Jackson on bass!

[@PaulJoeTX]

Seen your face at the movies hear your voice on the radio! ❤

[@MechaJoezilla]

I agree, love that album!

[@48jmark]

I saw them twice in the early 80s in Detroit. Best live singer ever . The concert atmosphere was electric. Always many beautiful women in the crowds

[@stellamorgan482]

I've got one for you Asia that really shows off Steve's voice. Check out "Patiently" from The Midnight Special. It wasn't a huge hit but the first song Steve Perry & Neil Schoen wrote right when Steve joined the band. They said that was a bonding moment between the both of them & the rest is history!

[@danielwolk3576]

Journey and the Eagles were the best harmonies in rock. I always get a kick out of seeing Randy Jackson at bass... you forget he was amazing in Journey.

[@lindarumsey3109]

Right there with you, Asia!! His voice is beyond amazing! My favorite all time band. Their music never gets old for me, and I am 56 and lived through this era!

[@Frostrazor]

LOVE IT!!! This track is in my top 5 fav all time by this band. The harmonies are incredible! And Neil ripping that guitar at the end. So legendary band. Happy to Give, Why Cant This Night Go On Forever, and Eyes of a Woman - all off this album and showcases Steve's voice even more than than usual.

I was a kid in the 80’s and this band sweeps me right back to that amazing time. Steve Perry’s voice is other worldly. ❤❤❤❤

[@rjh862]

Asia, I don't want to keep rubbing this in LOL but I was lucky enough to see this band twice and I can tell you on God that this band sounded so good life and so perfect that these musicians were top-notch and then the vocals and harmonies would just almost make anybody get tears in their eyes they were so good ! Part of the magic is that while the bandholz down vocal harmonies that are perfect it give Steve Perry room to sort of exercises voice and solo a bit on top of the harmonies is just amazing. And I noticed on this song that part of the magic that happens in here is the song actually modulates into a different key I would say the first part of a verse was in one key and then the second part of the same verse would modulate and then they're going to the pre chorus and the chorus and then come back in and to the original key not a lotta do stuff like that in their. But I want to say I'm thankful that I started watching you guys a long time ago and I'm also thankful that you guys get turned on by some of them same music that I thoroughly enjoy as well.

[@classiclife7204]

Raised on Radio is one of the best-produced records of the 1980s; you owe it yourselves to hear the perfect-ness of the sounds on the album version of this song. Imagine five Perrys layered on top of each other in the choral section at the end. Stunning stuff.

[@maryellenshea1055]

Hands down one of the most underrated Journey songs.

I hope you both can react to "Winds Of March". It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. I'm not a parent so I could never understand the significance of this song but I think it can resonant with a parent, especially a father. It's a beautiful yet heartbreaking song.

There’s no auto tune garbage and he can walk around and sing like that! Can’t imagine living with him and having that voice sing just around the house to other bands. I imagine it was priceless growing up with him! They sold out every single show they did! I was lucky enough to see them when I was 13 and right before Steve Perry lost that voice unfortunately for a long time. It was unbelievable! He is so amazing and just walks around like that y’all!!!

[@scottvanhille5688]

This is a good song. "Only The Young" from 1985's Vision Quest Motion Picture Soundtrack is also good. I think their concerts were always sold out. Try a Steve Perry song when he went solo called "You Better Wait" it's one of my favorites. Another great song from Journey's 1983's Frontiers album is called "Chain Reaction." You'll like it.

[@derekpratte7259]

Thank you guys! As a HUGE, lifelong Journey fan, you guys nailed it. Asia, you are exactly right, Neal Schon’s guitar solos are special. I enjoyed watching your response to Neal’s solo. He has moved me with his guitar for forty years. You two are fun to watch.

[@patrigilligan2112]

One of their best live performances! Did you notice Randy Jackson on the bass guitar and background vocals?

[@NoahFroio]

I've said it before, and I will continue to say it, Journey is one of the only major bands that actually sounded better live than recorded for vinyl.

[@Markyajv]

I am so lucky that I grew up in the age that I did. We went to almost every concert that would come around Philly. Back then in the 80s, ticket prices for concerts were only about 25 bucks. We didn't have to deal with scammers who buy all the good tickets up and then try to resell them for 300 and 400 and $500. Next to Pink Floyd Journey was probably one of my favorite bands to see live they were so amazing always sounded good crowds packed to the rafters. Boy do I miss those days I don't even go to concerts now when I see how much they cost, it's freaking ridiculous. Also fun fact did you know that the guy playing the guitar to Steve's right on the stage is Randy Jackson from American Idol? 🎉

Asia & BJ, thank you so much for this! I was 21 back when I saw Journey and I was already a big fan, but hearing Steve Perry in person just blew me away. The band is so tight and make such amazing music, but having Steve Perry is what launched them into the next level. Like you said Asia, "Greatness." When I saw and heard SP effortlessly carry humanly impossible notes, I thought "it's a good thing they don't allow bottles in the concert, because his voice can literally shatter glass!"

[@LANPartyAnimal]

Neal Schon, the guitarist, was 17 when he joined Santana on their third album. When Carlos got into the whole Jazz fusion thing with John McLaughlin, he and Santana's keyboard player decided to form their own band so they could keep on rocking. That band was Journey. What you saw here was the second incarnation of Journey.
